The Lord never orders the rape of virgins anywhere in the Bible. They are allowed to be taken in marriage, and there is nothing to lead us to believe that He intended anything but that.
So what if the animals are killed?
Hitler was not "fine," though all evil serves God's purposes for good. Out of the ashes of the holocaust the nation of Israel was reborn, as prophesied 2,500 years earlier.
Babies are not evil, but the judgment of God is severe, and as it is written:
Numbers 14:18
The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.
And who is evil, God for His righteous judgment, or man who revels in unrighteousness? We are all born with consciences; the Canaanites knew that sacrificing their children by fire was evil, but they did it anyway. They deserved what happened to them.
